30.

Which statement correctly defines absolute value and explains why 3=33 = \lvert -3 \rvert using a number line?

a)

Absolute value is the distance from zero; both 3 and −3 are three units from 0, so their absolute values are 3.

b)

Absolute value is the largest number on the line; since 3 is larger than −3, 3=3\lvert -3 \rvert = 3 by comparison.

c)

Absolute value changes negative numbers to zero; therefore 3=0\lvert -3 \rvert = 0 and 3 equals 0.

d)

Absolute value is the sign of a number; positive numbers have absolute value 1 and negatives have absolute value −1.
